1
Prepare the Anchovy Dripping
In a small saucepan, combine the anchovy fillets, olive oil, and crushed garlic cloves over low heat. Stir gently until the anchovies dissolve into the oil, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
2
Add Flavor
Once the anchovy mixture has cooled, stir in the lemon juice, chopped fresh parsley, and black pepper. Set aside.

3
Prepare the Baby Gems
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Slice the baby gem lettuce heads in half lengthwise. Brush the cut sides with a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
4
Grill the Lettuce
Place the baby gems cut-side down on the grill. Grill for about 2-3 minutes until the lettuce is slightly charred and wilted. Flip them over and grill for another 1-2 minutes.
5
Serve
Remove the grilled baby gems from the grill and place them on a serving platter. Drizzle the prepared anchovy dripping generously over the top. Serve immediately.
